13、ery good, recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, “

14、I cant do that. Hes the one who should apologize.” She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an ap

15、ology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want

16、to be a more peaceful person, you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesnt mean that youre wrong. Everything will be fine. Youll experience the peace of

17、letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.Youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. Youll have the inner satisfaction of

18、 knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.1、The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.AdevelopBrecoverCacceptDreplace2、According to the passage, the authors friend never spoke to her son for three years b

22、tested for a license. I wont even allow myself to frown when another driver is blocking my path.My kids have noticed my fear in public. “Why are you looking all around, Mum?” they asked.“You cant be too careful,” I said. “Every single person around us is hiding one of cell phone cameras.

Im not taking any chances.”“But I dont think anyone is interested in filming you putting on your lipstick for a YouTube video.” answered one kid.“Oh, really? Dont count me out so

24、 quickly.” I said.Actually, in some cases, I am all for public shaming. For example, I admire the cleverness of the man who put up a website where he posts photos of cars and license numbers of people who occupy two parking spots. And I take secret pleasure in photos of politicians with their finger

25、s in their noses.

31、s wife. It took about 20 years to build the monument. Some 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants helped get the job done. Today, the Taj Mahal is not just a symbol of cultural history. Its also Indias most famous tourist attraction. About 8 million people visit it each year.But pollution is turning the

32、 white marble monument shades of green, yellow, and brown. The Taj Mahal stands on the polluted Yamuna River. Insects are attracted to the dirty water. They leave greenish droppings on the building. Air pollution is also a big threat. Factories and cars release pollution into the air. It sticks to t

33、he Taj Mahals suidEace. In the 1990s, Indias Supreme Court ordered hundreds of factories near the monument to close. Also, car and bus traffic was restricted. From time to time, workers clean the Taj Mahal. But doing so is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming; And it doesnt prevent the discolora

34、tion.On July 11, Indias Supreme Court gave the city of Agra a warning: “Either you destroy the Taj Mahal or you restore it”. Authorities in the city submitted a draft of an action plan on July 24. It suggests banning plastics and construction from the area. It also calls for the closing of more fact

38、on Destroyed the Taj Maha24（8分）Relieving poverty has been one of our governments top concerns for the past decades. Poverty(贫困) in remote areas in China is virtually a great obstacle for the Chinese to get common progress; thus, it is urgent for us to help the people there to shake off poverty the s

39、ooner the better. For this aim, the government has already sent technicians and experts to poverty-stricken areas to help boost local agricultural production and teach the locals new techniques. The Ministry of Labor has also trained many rural laborers through different programs. But all these are

40、not enough. Several other ways have been proposed as follows.First of all, the government should encourage a small part of the people in the remote areas to get wealthy ahead of others by equipping them with relevant funds and agricultural technology. These “better-offs” can not only set a good exam

41、ple but give confidence to the poorer in their efforts to get rid of poverty. When all the people get rich, the general level of living standard can be greatly improved. With their living standard improved, they can attach greater importance to environmental protection and are willing to input consi

42、derable amount of money to educate their children. Only in this way is a sustainable development guaranteed.Secondly, we must call upon people in all walks of life throughout the country, especially those wealthy citizens in coastal areas to help those struggling below poverty line in poor remote re

43、gions out. We must realize that only after all Chinese people live a comfortable life can we be peacefully enjoying material prosperity in life. Helps can come in various forms-donating money to the poor family and books to school drop-outs, college graduates volunteering to work in the most needed

44、regions, bringing knowledge to them, etc.The last but not the least, the government should raise the rate of tax on the rich. This can shorten the gap between the poor and the rich as well as benefit the countrys revenues(财政收入) whose better part is in turn allocated to the poor remote areas.Admitted

45、ly, it is never easy to cast off the shadow of poverty in the remote areas completely in the short run. But every one of us should go all out to help those in poverty, we are confident that our country will be more powerful and prosperous in the process of relieving poverty.1、What does the underline

Hes a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike

49、for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when theyre taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly match

50、ed one reported stolen on Bike Index.Then he called the person who claimed to be the bikes owner and arranged to meet him supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “Youve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out

51、of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thi

52、ef and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that

53、suspects had stolen during a home burglary.His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasnt exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty s
